Final Fantasy VII The First Soldier is a battle royale set thirty years before the events that transpire in Final Fantasy VII, in the city of Midgard. Players need to fight among themselves for the privilege of becoming the first SOLDIER recruit, the organization Cloud claims to belong to.
The way Final Fantasy VII The First Soldier works is by combining the core of playability that you see in almost all of the biggest battle royale mobile games, like PUBG Mobile, Fortnite, Free Fire and Creative Destruction, with other elements more traditionally found in MOBAs, like enemies that appear on the map, magic, special abilities and even invocations. The result is a truly unique title.
One of the strengths of Final Fantasy VII The First Soldier is the arsenal of arms, armor and magic that is at your disposal. You have pistols, machine guns, shotguns and sniper rifles, but you can also make use of different items to wield fire, ice or lightning magic. And of course, you can use a plethora of hand to hand combat weapons, almost all of them inspired by the ones used by characters in the original game.
Something else that will make fans of the original game want to dive headfirst into battle is the scenery. Midgar is one of the most symbolic cities in video game history, and in The First Soldier you can explore some of the most well-known locations like you have never seen them before. You can visit the Church in Aerith for the first time, the Don Corneo suburbs, the Seventh Heaven bar, and many more.
Final Fantasy VII The First Soldier is a risk for Square-Enix, considering they are bringing one of their best-loved installments of their star franchise to a totally new genre. Fortunately, they did so with courage and originality, creating a visually spectacular game that will soon be rubbing shoulders with the best Android has to offer.
